Example

In this example, we will be demonstrating the use of the Filter By Value feature for a Grid column.

  1. In order to enable this option in your Grid Menu, you must select the Grid, and make sure to set the “find option” Grid Property to true:

  2. Next, you will want to Save and Compile your display file and program.

  3. Then, run your program. Once the program is running and your Grid has populated, you will now want to open the Grid Menu on the column you want to filter, and select Filter by Value:

  4. This will open up a panel with a list of data in the column, and a Checkbox for each. If a piece of data is present multiple times, it will only be listed once in the panel.

Note: If the Grid does not load all the data up-front, it may take some time to retrieve all the data for that column.

  1. To select which data to filter, check the respective checkbox for each data item that you would like to filter by:

  2. In the image above, "CA", "CO", and "IL" have been selected. By clicking the check mark on the panel after making your selection, this changes the filter text to "Values CA, CO, IL", and applies the filter to the Grid:
